A cylinder wall that looks like glass!! A crank case full of stinky fuel/oil....plus a few more issues if not addressed Bearings ect... But thats after continuous rich conditions & abuse like that.. His was all of a sudden, Why Rob? you don't think it would fire the hole?? Burnt gasket,Excessive fuel, Possibly sucking air Or caught the adjacent hole during intake & Boom!!! Seen it before Grasshopper!! LOL!

question 1: which way is the plate mounted? for example, if you are standing at the nose of the car and looking at the engine, is the spray but run from the back of the engine to the front or from one bank to the other?

question2: when you switch from 93 to the high octane, do you pull the fuel lines off and drain every single drop of gas out of them and the tank?

Gerry,i was thinking the same thing are you using the same fuel cell for the pump gas and race gas?Also what did the spark plug look like out of that cylinder?

I was thinking about damaged ringlands, like some old 496 with a small, safe tune had on it.

If it was high to begin with adding the small shot you did of nitrous would increase that pressure and make that gasket go..We all know the ford head bolt pattern isn't the best for torquing a head down..I would also look into a MLS gasket possibly.. A good race Fel-Pro gasket will work but i would add acouple coats of Copper spray to both sides when installing..

Hmmmm Rob, sounds familiar, but I think you mean "489"? lol.
Hey Gerry, after all the grief that you get on here, it seems as if the Renegades really do pull together when the going gets tough!
Talk to Ronnie indepth, he will figure out what happened.... he did with my motor!

I figured you were, But not the same scenario...Turns out that the smashed ringland came from a piston that was too tight in the Bore!! Even has the Odd wear marks to prove it..actually had started to fold the material over itself, Good thing he's being meticulous with his build & disassembled everything, I saw the piston in question yesterday, one side was virtually untouched & the other side was heavy aluminum to metal contact, So some of that fog was probably from a hole that the rings were no longer seating properly!! All the others looked Fine.....Something expanded or distorted that one (heat)..maybe from the prior blown head gasket that it suffered late in October when it was last run when it was really cool out & it was a little Lean if you remember correctly, which was the reason for them fattening it up & taking some timing away the next time out!! basically it had probably already developed that problem right then...
